EGG-BEATER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 276,290, dated April 24, 1883.

Application filed March 8, 1883. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES SGHREBLER,

and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Egg Beaters; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to a stirring or mixing device adapted for use as an egg-beater, a paint-mixer, or for any analogous purpose where a thorough agitation or stirring of materials is desired within a suitable receptacle.

The object of the invention is to provide a device adapted to be applied to a can, bucket, orother vessel to thoroughly stir or agitate the entire contents of the latter, and to effectually prevent the clogging of the material or its adherence to the bottom of the vessel.

The invention consists in the novel construction of stirrer hereinafter fully described, and in the improved devices for securing the same .to a can or other vessel.

The invention further consists in the combination, with one of the revolving stirrers, of scraper-blades adapted to prevent the adherence of the material being stirred to the bottom of the vessel.

The invention further consists in the combinations of parts hereinafter fully described, and pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings, Figure l is a perspective viewof myimproved stirrer. the same applied to a can, and Fig. 3 represents a longitudinal section of the stirrer.

A represents a supporting-frame consisting of radial arms a, adapted to be secured to a can or other vessel, and an upwardly-projecting bracket, B, secured to one of said arms, and having a bearing, 1), for a horizontal crankshaft, O, and at its upper end a bearing, 1), to receive the upper end ofa vertical shaft, 1). The latter extends downwardly through a sleeve, 1, supported in an opening or hearing, a, of the central portion or hub, E, of the arms a, and to its lower end is secured the lower revolving -stirrer, F. This stirrer F is formed with a frame, f, provided centrally with a socket, f, which receives the lower end of the shaft D, to

, which it is secured by a pin, d, or otherwise.

Fig. 2 illustrates G G represent scraper-blades secured on opposite sides of the framefa'nd diagonally opposite each other. These scrapers. are downwardlyinclined slightly to adaptthem to scrape the material from the bottom of the vessel when the stirrer is revolved.

H represents upwardly archedl stirringblades secured to the frame f, parallel with one another, and at such a distance apart as to admit of the free passage between them of similar stirring-blades depending from an upper stirrer, as will be further explained. The sleeve Lsupported in the bearing a of the frame, is provided with a bevel-gear wheel, t, arranged opposite to a similar gear-wheel, d secured upon the shaft D, and. with these wheels 43 and d meshes a vertical gear-wheel, J, mounted upon the inner end of the crankshaft G, the opposite end of the latter being provided with a crank, 0.

To the lower end of the sleeve I is secured the socket is of the upper revolving stirrer, K, whose construction is similar to that of the stirrer F, already described. As above stated, the depending arched or U-shaped stirrerblades of this upper stirrer, K, extend between those of the lower stirrer, F.

L represents a can or vessel to which my stirring device is to be attached, provided with a perforated lug, l, to which is secured, by a chain, 1, a pin, l The can is also formed with one or more catches or lugs, 1 the number corresponding to the number of arms a of the stirrer-frame. One of these arms a is provided, at its outer end, with a right-angular extension, a, horizontally slotted, as shownat a, to receive the perforated lug Z of the can, and having a vertical opening, a, to receive the pin Z Each of the other arms a is formed with a right-angular lug, a", adapted to be se- IOC those of the upper one, and the scrapers of the lower stirrer preventing all clogging or adherence of the material to the can.

It will be obvious that my improvement is adapted to a variety of uses, and that many slight alterations as to the details of construction might be resorted to Without departing from the spirit of my invention; hence I do not limit myself to precisely the construction here shown and described; but,

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The combination, with a stirring device adapted to be secured to acan or other vessel, of oppositely-arranged scrapers serving to pro ent the adherence of material to the bottom of the can or vessel, substantially as set forth.

2. The combination, with a can provided with a perforated lug and catches, ot' a stirring I device, whose arms are adapted to embrace the edge of the can and engage said catches,

one of said arms having a slotted lug to receive said perforated lug and be secured thereto by a pin, substantially as set forth.

3. The combination, with the oppositely-rcvolving stirrers provided with intermoving blades, of oppositely-arranged scrapers, secured to the lower stirrer, substantially as set forth.

4. The combination, with a stirrer-shaft, of a stirrer consisting of a horizontal frame provided with a socket to receive said shaft, and projecting U-shaped blades, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

CHARLES SOHREBLER.
